I feel there is something shady missing between all these crazy headline stats. For example, Facebook messenger stats seem gamed to me. I never really use it, but every time i accept a friend request it pops up a fake messenger notification telling me that i can message that contact (opening messenger of course). Furthermore the quality of news feed has dropped of a cliff for me. It's really just posts from pages and sponsored posts now. Very few people actually post.
